[newbie] Easy Install Error

2001-07-01 Thread Michael Mitchell

First error to appear is:
ERROR! Could not uncompress second state ramdisk

ON pressing the enter key as asked:

Fatal error in state 1:  Accessing corrupt shared library.

This after four days of downloading the cd iso for 8.0!  Can this be made
easier, or explained in some manner?

Or is the norm holding:  If it can go wrong for me - it does?

Thanks,
Mike

this can be a hardware or bad software problem... (not to be mean, but if you 
have to download with a dialup connection, you might consider 
www/cheapbytes.com to get a disk set that is the same as the ISO you 
downloaded and burned (you did burn the ISO to a disk?)

Sounds like it could be a bad ISO or CD. Have you tried creating a floppy 
with the cdrom.img save to it? Reboot your computer with this floppy and see 
how the installation goes.
